Jones is one of a growing number of young professionals who are relying not on photographers to take headshots, but on generative artificial intelligence.
Some of the generated photos give users extra hands or arms, and they have consistent issues around perfecting teeth and ears.
These issues are likely a result of the data sets that the apps and services are trained on, according to Jordan Harrod, a Ph.D. candidate who is popular on YouTube for explaining how AI technology works.
Others who have tried AI headshots have pointed out similar errors, noticing that some websites make women look curvier than they are and that they can wash out complexions and have trouble accurately depicting Black hairstyles.
Grace White, a law student at the University of Arkansas, was an early adopter of AI headshots, posting about her experience on TikTok and attracting more than 50 million views.
Ultimately, White didn’t use the generated images and opted for a professional photographer to take her photo, but she said she recognizes that not everyone has the same budget flexibility.
